Volunteer driver for Activity Group at Gatley Hill House

REF: 682f1b15d810f

April 2025 marks 60 years since Re-engage – initially known as ‘Contact’, then 'Contact the Elderly’, before undergoing a re-brand in 2019 - began bringing companionship, friendship and connection into the lives of thousands of older people and volunteers. Since then, there have been millions of minutes of conversation, thousands of firm friendships formed, countless cups of tea and coffee consumed, slices of cake enjoyed and much more, all with the aim of tackling loneliness for older people.

Role

Become an activity group driver As an activity group driver, you’ll collect older people from their homes, accompany them to the monthly activity group and drop them home again afterwards. The activity group will be at the same community venue and will include older people, activity group leads, drivers, and the activity group coordinator. Activity groups normally last around two hours and will include an activity that gets people moving such as: dance, chair exercises, boules, skittles or boccia. Activity groups are free monthly groups that are open to older people who are lonely, isolated and in need of companionship. Activity groups are a great way for older people to stay active and to make new friends in their local area.
